Arz Kiya hai… Ke…
Wo mere zubaan par thi,
aur main uske dil mein tha,
mohabbat ka noor chhupa hua
khamoshi ke silsilay mein tha.
Teri ek muskurahat ne
roshan kar diya dil ka sheher,
warna har mod andheron ki
be-awaaz gehraayi mein tha.
Main uske khayalon ki raahein
yunhi chalta gaya be–sabab,
jaise har qadam kisi
duaa ki parchhaai mein tha.
Zamana poochta raha mujhse
mohabbat ka koi saboot,
unka kya pata ke sach to
meri khamoshi ki gawai mein tha.
Kabhi uski nigaahon ne,
kabhi uske lafzon ne yeh kaha,
ke main uski chahat ke
sabse gehre kone mein tha.
Na dooriyon ka shikwa tha,
na kismat ki gardish ka gila,
jo tha, sirf uska naam
mere har dard ki rahaayi mein tha.
Agar usko ko kabhi samajh aata
meri wafa ka poora alam,
to woh jaanti ke main
uski dhadkan ke har morh mein tha.
Zulfi bas yeh arz karta hai,
Ke mohabbat ko lafzon mein kaise utaaray,
yeh qissa to likha hi tab jaata
jab wo mere behad qareeb rehta
